By using the Platform, you authorize BSCNews to collect and use your personal information as set forth in this Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy may change from time to time (see Changes to Our Privacy Policy).  Your continued use of the Platform after we post such changes will constitute your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy to the extent permitted by law.

If you are located in the EEA, you have certain statutory rights in relation to your personal information.  Subject to any exemptions provided by law, you may have the right to request access to, as well as to seek to update, delete, correct, or restrict or object to the processing of your personal information.  As explained elsewhere in this Privacy Policy, we process personal information in various ways depending upon your use of our Platform.
